Only in Llanview -- exit polls indicated that mayoral candidate Doctor Dorian Lord stood a good chance of being the next mayor after her mass wedding ceremony in support of equal rights for same-sex couples.
However, as the election returns came in, the votes were so close that no one was able to predict who was actually going to win the election.
After three recounts, the maximum required by law, candidate Victoria Banks was declared the winner of Llanview's mayoral election -- by a mere vote.
The press was unable to gain comments from the winner of the election, as she was dealing with an ongoing family crisis. At the time of the final recount, it is believed that she was in California dealing with the death of her son-in-law, who was previously thought to be a murder suspect.
It seems Jared Banks was murdered by the real mastermind behind the Banks family crisis, apparently returned-from-the-dead Mitch Lawrence, a long-time family enemy.
At this time, Dorian Lord remains unsatisfied with the final tally, but anticipating voters have yet to hear from their mayor-elect.
